CEO & Founder of http://worldlearningtree.com
I plan to create a virtual online world where kids quest for education, not killing monsters. The key is to keep them engaged and wanting to reach a next level and be rewarded. A tree of knowledge will track and project there progress. Web 2.0 concepts will allow for this to be a free system available to kids around the world. I am looking for any kind of help to build this system. The site should have social networking, user generated content, mashups, AJAX, 3D, Cloud Computing/Storage, etc. Check out my web 2.0 presentation and they way I mashed up bookmark imported to del.ici.ous then imported those to 6pli to present my links of research and games in a 3D format. Thanks! :)

Hi Harley,
I just wanted to comment that the best way to grow your network and vision is to do exactly what you have done, join social networks and start writing about your product. However, I personally think that there is a great difference between writing about it for commercial purposes and writing about it to enhance your vision.
With regards to your current comment here, I think you need to decide who you want your audience to be. Obviously there are different social networks that you would use to reach out to adults than you would use to reach out to children.
Check out our series of free live workshops around the United States on the use of Web 2.0 technologies in education. Coming up: Sacramento, New York, and Boston. More details and information here.
